    Hi, I'm just having here a 16:9 NTSC DVD video source.
    My goal is to restore the orginal video format.
    Is there a way to change the PAR or SAR values without re-encoding the whole video?

  2. If you just want to adjust AR (e.g. if it wasn't set properly in the first place), you can try restream or dvd patcher. But any restoration efforts will require re-encoding

    Ahhh, restream seems to be good enough for this purpose.
    Would be quite desirable to have a programm that could demultiplex and change it to 1:1 in one step^^

    DVD video is never "1:1". None of the available pixel aspect ratios give square pixels.

    Cheers,
    David.

    You resize and reencode. DVDs are only 4:3 or 16:9, never 1:1.
